SureStore T4, aha1520 controller and backups.

[Peter Good <psgood@petesinternet.net>]

Heyas, having a bit of trouble here with this surestore, 8GB drive.

I set everything up in taper, then try to do a backup, it can't find the
tape, or gives this error.

Got me beat, i have the same card with a different tape drive in another
machine, and have no problems at all. Anything I need to specify for
this type of tape drive?

FYI, this is the dmesg output for the scsi card and tape.
